The device is sending some data as serial stream asynchronously. I need to do the follwings: 1) Open the COM1 port of the PC 2) Read the data coming from the connected device 3) Save the data into a file 4) After writing all the data, the COM1 port should be closed Please refer me any sample code either in C or C++ which I could run on Windows 2000 PC side for above tasks.

Sorry, but you can't do any of those things in standard C++, the topic here. The C++ language (and the C language, for that matter) do not define or support direct access to any hardware at all. All input and output is defined in terms of C++ stream or C FILE objects. You need to ask in a support group for your particular compiler to find out what non-standard extensions it might provide to help with this. It is a compiler and platform specific issue, not a language one. -- Jack Klein Home: http://JK-Technology.Com FAQs for comp.lang.c http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html comp.lang.c++ http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/ alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~ajo/docs/FAQ-acllc.html Back to top Karl Heinz Buchegger Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 9:23 am    Post subject: Re: C/C++ Sample code for Serial Communication Jamil wrote: Quote: I have a device connected through serial port of my desk top PC running Windows 2000.

What's complicated about locating information on your own? You have the world on you finger tips, you just need to find the information: http://www.google.com Search string: serial port Win C++ -- Karl Heinz Buchegger [email]kbuchegg (AT) gascad (DOT) at[/email] Back to top thomas144 Guest Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2004 9:54 pm    Post subject: Re: C/C++ Sample code for Serial Communication Quote: What's complicated about locating information on your own?

I found this fairly useful site: http://www.wince.org.uk/vc/intermediate/serialrw.htm as well as (even better I think): http://www.codeproject.com/system/serial.asp Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
